Chapter 228: Holy City and Chessboard

Heliopolis, the Holy City where the Egyptian gods resided among mortals.

This was a city on earth, as well as a domain of the deity. It had many names in the past: Sun City, Home of the Gods, City of All Gods, and it was even once the capital revered by the thirteen nomes (city-states) of Lower Egypt.

In years past, Isis, who fell accidentally to Hemenu, took her place and married the God of Underworld Osiris here; then, under the witness of All Gods, she was condemned as a sinner and died.

For thousands of years, this place had scarcely been without the trace of a deity; the gods of Egypt enjoyed the offerings of mortals here.

It was like a Mount Olympus closer to the Mortal Realm, where Divine Persons and mortals lived together... until the cataclysm a few years prior, which brought everything to a halt.
